Orange Flavoured Pineapple Spritzer

A refreshing and flavoursome drink is a must to beat the
heat during summers. As markets are flooding with so many refreshing drinks, I prefer
some instant and homemade drinks to keep me hydrated and refreshing. In this
process I stock up some homemade juices which can be served in instant or which
can make you refresh anytime of the day. You won’t believe if I say, I have
never tasted pineapple before my marriage. I always found it to be an
complicated fruit…..I don’t know why?…but after marriage when my husband bought
it for the first time, I said I don’t even know how to even peel this off…then he said it
is very simple and showed me how to do it. Then he even made a simple juice
from it and insisted me to have a sip…I loved it in my first sip…and from then
to now…I am hooked to pineapple juice. I use it in making lots of mocktail’s, cakes
and spritzer. I love the medley of flavours in drinks…Here is a simple and yet
refreshing recipe of an yum pineapple spritzer flavoured with orange and mint.
Get refreshed…

Add ice to the serving glasses and pour the above mixture to
the 2/3 of the glasses. Now add sparkling water and serve immediately with fresh
mint leaves.

Last but not least add your 'love' to make the dish 'YUMMY'.

NOTES:

I used fresh homemade pineapple juice in making this spritzer.
You can take one pineapple, scrape off the hard skin and cut it into chunks and
blend into puree. You can even add sugar and water. Double strain and refrigerate
in bottles.

I made fresh Orange juice also to make this spritzer. Cut orange into halves and extract juice by using
acitrus juice squeezer. Strain in a glass combine
water and sugar. Mix well. Store in a refrigerate bottle in fridge.

You can even use store
bought juice to make this spritzer. For sparkling water I used Kingfisher Soda.
You can even use sprite or 7up or Mountain Dew.

VARIATIONS:

You can even add a pinch
of crystallized ginger to the pineapple and orange mixture. Leave the mixture
for sometime nearly 1-2 hours and then strain out. Pour into the glasses with
ice and serve by sparkling water and fresh mint.

You can even add fresh
lemonade or papaya puree to the mixture in place of orange juice. Play with
flavours and discover your own pineapple spritzer.

You can even cut the
pineapple pieces into triangles or in star shape and skewer them and drop them
into the glasses to enhance the flavour and look.

The club serves this drink as Club Special. But they do not mix the drink - so you have a nice orange layer at the bottom and pineapple at the top and plenty of ice. Looks very nice. And it is a favourite of non-drinkers.
